Abraham Wing School

Summary:

Abraham Wing School is a small elementary school in Glens Falls, New York, serving 155 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Glens Falls Common School District, which is ranked 756 out of 865 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Abraham Wing School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 20-30 percentage points. The school has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80-87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the nearby Hudson Falls Central School District and South Glens Falls Central School District schools. Additionally, Abraham Wing School has a high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 10.5 in recent years, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

The challenges faced by Abraham Wing School are compounded by the lack of high-performing schools in the area. The surrounding schools in the Glens Falls and South Glens Falls districts also have relatively low academic performance, with most schools ranking in the bottom 50% of New York elementary schools. This suggests that addressing the issues at Abraham Wing School will require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, supporting students from low-income backgrounds, and ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to meet the needs of the school community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
